But it's vice versa: I get a list, but this list also contains folders that
don't exist anymore. I think they are still in the "to-poll-list", where they
should be removed from after deleting these folders.
And this doesn't gives an answer why I can go to these folders event though
they don't exist???

I understand your intention. Perhaps a solution could be to read a maximum of -
let's say - three or five messages of each folder.
Any thoughts from you other guys? (And gurls of course! BTW, are any gurls
working with horde?)
